IKC procedure overview

This overview steps through all required processes in IKC Aurora library management with reference to each relevant tip sheet. This overview covers:

Collection refreshment

Online catalogue and reservations

User record management

Item and record maintenance

Collection refreshment

Receiving new items

New collection items are permanently transferred from the collection called Indigenous Library Services (ILS), located at Cannon Hill Brisbane, to your IKC. This includes the following collections:

Adult fiction (AF)

Adult non-fiction (ANF)

Junior fiction (JF)

Junior non-fiction (JNF)

Picture books (PIC)

Audio books (AV)

Music CDs

Bookclub sets

Storytelling kits

DVDs.

Notes:

Collections are permanently transferred to your IKC and when new items are received you should return each item (PDF 83.4 KB) on Aurora so the items indicate they are in your IKC.

Removing old items

Items no longer required in the collection need to be deleted from Aurora (PDF 49.2 KB). Once deleted and the barcode is covered with a sticker, items can be distributed to the community or tourists.

Notes:

When deleting items, ensure you tick the box "delete work if last item deleted".

Cover each barcode with a sticker, so the item is not confused with current items available for borrowing.

Sharing items with other IKCs

Items in good condition can be permanently transerred (PDF 129.4 KB) to another IKC. IKCs may want to swap books with each other especially if they are in the same Council. If the item is no longer wanted or is a duplicate, it can also go to another IKC. Items requested by one of your customers, send from another IKC, can stay in your IKC. It does not need to be returned to the IKC that sent it to you.
